March 14, 2013—The National Auto Body Council (NABC) is expanding the format of its upcoming planning and board meeting.

The meeting is now scheduled for April 18-19 to accommodate an agenda designed to help chart the future of the organization.

Matt Ohrnstein of Symphony Advisors will facilitate the first half of the day on April 18, which will focus on current NABC goals and planning the next five years of the organization.

The second half of the day will consist of committee sessions that provide opportunities for participants to engage in discussion. The meeting on April 19 will include presentations of committee reports.

“Just as our regular board meetings have open attendance, so too does this very special event,” said Chuck Sulkala, executive director of the NABC. “It’s a chance for all to voice their opinions, concerns and thoughts together with members of the National Auto Body Council. It’s a great opportunity to see what we’re really all about.”

The meeting will take place at the I-CAR Training and Support Center in Hoffman Estates, Ill.
